Summary

This quote suggests that while reading a play at home may be enjoyable, it can never fully capture the vibrant and immersive experience that Shakespeare intended for his plays. Shakespeare's works were designed to be performed on stage, where his language and storytelling could come to life through the energy and interactions of live actors. Reading the play alone at home may provide some satisfaction, but it cannot replicate the dynamism, emotions, and sensory impact of witnessing a theatrical performance.

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth more than ruin more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit.
